Redesigning social futures and multiliteracies in EAP: a nexus analysis of Design students

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper elucidates a sociocultural agenda for co-developing heteroglossic future-readiness with dynamic flows of translanguaging and trans-semiotizing resources for disciplinary meaning-making in EMI higher education. The Covid-19 legacy has reformed multimodal analysis of classroom social interaction with screen-centric, web-entangling design applications (e.g., Microsoft TEAMS, Zoom, Padlet and Trello). To encompass a non-linear view (Walsh, 2010) of academic literacy and texts, orienting towards dynamic flows of multimodal meaning-making resources (Kress, 2010; Lin, 2016; Lin & Liu, 2020), this paper reports the nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004) contextualised in redesigning digital EAP and developing social futures of creative learners' communities with a pedagogy of multiliteracies (the New London Group, 1996). ​
The teacher-researcher empirically re-examined the critical praxis of genres across the disciplines (Nesi & Gardner, 2012) with 48 Design majors in a 13-week discipline-appropriate research and academic writing course in Hong Kong.
